What do you guys talk about?
Do you have specific coaches tell you about specific things?
Trying to be more efficient with our talk.

Usually the first thing we talk about is what the mommies are wearing the stands. J/K
On Offense: Down Distance hash mark, defensive substitutes as per scouting report, where we were on our script. Anything else depended on who was calling the plays. Often a mistake I have found is too much info on the head sets is as bad as not enough. Everyone needs to be on the same page. Right before the snap we would try to relay the front & coverage, if they were telegraphing a stunt or blitz as per our scouting report & film work.
On Defense: Down distance hash. Possible play from the scouting report, personnel groups as they went in.
Hope that helps.
Joe

I call the plays and I am up top so I tell the guy on the sideline (OL coach) who relays the plays what to call. I also help spot for the DC, Down and Dist, fav play base don scouting, tendancy etc..

It's a lot of the guy up top giving me personnel groups, previous D&D calls, and where they've been trying to attack us. He operates off a playcall/stat sheet we developed and does a pretty great job with it.
That said, a lot of what goes on is in my head. Half the time I'm just processing while the booth guy is shouting at me. It helps that we're friends.

Yea I agree with that, when I called plays from the sideline I would find myself more times then not saying " Shut up so I can think !" I let the guys know a head of time that its never peronal just during the heat of battle you dont have time to talk. I found myself being a bit more firm with less experienced guys that were spottign for me. They thought they had to talk all the time. I have spotted and more times then not less is more especially if your talking directly to the play caller.

I'm the DC, and I am in the box while the D-line coach is on the field. I tell him where the ball is (yardline and hash mark) and the situation (down an distance). I also tell him what personnel group is going on the field. Since we are a formation check defense, I don't have to talk about calls unless the kids are not running the checks or there are problems. As the game goes on, I will tell him what tendencies I have found or what adjustments we have to make.

Lots of quotes....
A safety misses a tackle.
"Was that wrong? Because if I would have known that was wrong I wouldn't have done that?"
Or
"What exactly is it you DO here?"
When things start going south
"Yea, we're goign to need you to go ahead and come in here on saturday"
One first down later
"And Sunday too. Grrrrreeeat"
Lots and lots of second guessing/mocking the offensive staff. Lots of teasing the header about being uptight and conservative.
There's bits of factual information (who didn't do there job), but we're all watching the game and we already know what we want to do.
EDIT: Forgot to add, the defensive staff is on a different headset than the offensive staff. They don't have any fun during games.

I'm a position guy and am in the box. Like dcohio said, the very first thing we talk about is the mommy report, Or tell a story about coaches clinic etc. Keep it entertained, if you don't you will be so puckered the whole night. I am the only offensive position coach (split staff) in the box so I am really the only one who knows what is going on when we are on offense.
My OC is great! A guy who has been around for 30+ years and is getting it done!!! Very rarely, does he asks for suggestions. He will ask for advice, but seldom. First off, because our HC has given him total autonomy over the offense and secondly, he is just a good one. He will say something to the effect of, "watch if 3 tech closes." "What are they doing when we going jet motion."
First (play the field) - Give the D&D, yard line, hash.
Second - Front, Coverage
Third (post play) - "They rolled to one high safety on motion." "3 tech is upfield." "Little Jimmy didn't get the Nose blocked."
P.S. A little advice for you position guys, DO NOT give advice, unless asked for it!

I'm a box guy..........I've learned the hard way.
I give D & D, coverage structure, and where the 3 technique is.....
I'm pure information when we are on offense.....I only give play suggestions when we are not on offense, unless I'm asked.
Our DC doesn't wear a headset........he wants to be left alone to work the game......he's one of the old school coaches with "that eye" where he can see everything at field level.
We just STFU and let him work.
Lots of BSing too..........

Funny headset story. My OLB coach and our HC (also the OC) have known each other for over 30 years. Have coached together several times and are great friends. One friday night, we are on offense and our HC (who can be a little spaztic sometimes) accidentally flips over to our phones and us 3 defensive guys are just a BS'in. Suddenly the HC says "I need a play!!" We all stopped talking. HC says "J**** C****, buy a ticket. Get in the F****** game!! I need a play." So my OLB coach gives him a play. HC says "WHAT??!! G** D***it we don't even have that play." OLB coach says "sorry, I heard it at a clinic." HC pauses "F*** Y**!! G** D*****!! Timeout." We were dying with laughter. This was 2 years ago, so now anytime they start talking offense while we (defensive staff) are in the coaches office the OLB coach always suggests that play. Classic. Thanks for sharing, dco. |

We found out the hard way that the super, principal and AD are conveniently on the same headset channel as the defense during the games. Oh yeah...so is the local fire department...
It took one blowout game of idle chatter and passing the time with "guy talk" for the HC to get called into the office to immediately demand we act more professionally. When the HC asked what the hell they were doing listening in on our headsets during the game, they gave the age old "dad" answer of "because we are your bosses and we can". Prob makes them feel like they're a part of it.
The Goddamm headsets aren't even sacred anymore....

Local pizza place used to listen to our game on a police scanner through our headsets.

Last season I worked as the DC and spent most of it talking play charts/tendencies with the guy upstairs. It usually ended at some point with me screaming "Dude....uh...wtf?" and him responding "Scheme's good coach...just gotta tackle." Leaving me once again to wonder what to do when their O's are bigger/faster/stronger than my X's.  Usually the evening opens up with all sorts of random garbage chatter and making fun of people in the stands. Actually, our favorite target was the HC. He would go out for the coin toss while we were first firing up the head sets.  I've heard of teams that open up the game with coach's singing in the headsets or even one of them being responsible for a "joke of the night" to start things off. I'm probably doing that next year, though MILF patrol sounds like a fun game to play too. One night our dance team dressed particularly, um...."skimpy" and did a dance to "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk". If the local police would have been on the same channel that night, at least one of us would have probably ended up in jail. |
